A perfect blend of elegance, culture, and high fashion, the outfit showcased not just Botswana’s beauty, but its bold, rising creative scene.
Christina, a self-taught designer from rural Botswana, is living proof that raw talent, when nurtured and empowered, knows no limits. Her design not only lit up the Miss World stage but also made a powerful statement: local creativity belongs on the global runway.
